What do you collect other than cards?

Other than cards, I got a nice stamp collection but havent been active in a looong time. and sports Jersey's, usually ones than mean something, ie , hall of fame/retro/kinda stuff.
 
Sports wise, nothing else, hockey is king for me. Outside of sports I've been collecting since I was about 8 years old. Mainly stamps (Canadian, FDC & First Flight covers), but later in life I added coronation medals (Edward VII) and ancient coins (Roman, mainly 4th century with Jupiter reverses). Really slowed down on the last 2 over the last 5 years though.
 
Whenever I go to a live event I always check to see if there's a pin to celebrate the event, usually they are dated.

These are my racing pin's -

I have a passion for watches:
Patek, Blancpain, A.Lange & Sohne, Baume et Mercier, Omega and my guilty pleasure vintage 80's Swatches.
 
Although I've gotten rid of a few and stop buying in the last 2 years I'd say I collect sneakers

Mainly Jordans and Nike but have a few others

I'm down to about 30 pairs now
 
I got into hockey card and comic collecting as a kid. Stopped for awhile and got into toys, then got back into cards.

Have a 95% complete collection of Amazing Spiderman comics. Don't have any of the first 10 issues (or AF#15), but have from all from #69 to #540 (except for #431). Have some from 541 to present, but I've been putting it off.

McFarlane NHL sportspicks. Have most figures from Series 1 to 18, regular/variant/chase. Missing about 5 figures. Don't have #13 Selanne, but have the 3rd jersey Roy. Got the 2, 3, 4 packs and 12" figs too. Stopped at end of 2008. Still pick up the odd figure here and there.

Collected the Toy Biz Marvel Legends line, reg/variants. Don't like the Mattel stuff. Missing only a handful of figures.

Collected some Spawn stuff too. Main whatever series that interested me. Same with Marvel comic book characters (some DC), some statues. Did some Star Wars, Transformers, for a couple of years, but stopped.
 
Aside from hockey cards my major collection would be comics(have about 6500) mostly Batman, Green Lantern, Spider-man, X-men etc etc.

After that the main things would be NES games and Records(LP's and 45's)
 
I used to collect McFarlane figures, mostly variants. I made the mistake of opening most of them but I kept a few of my favorites in the package. I stopped a few years ago when the quality and packaging started going in the tank.

Other than hockey cards I don't have any other full-time collections. I do dabble in the odd item that catches my eye though. My most desired item would be a Nikola Tesla signature.
 
Sports cards are the easiest items for me to pick up locally, but I also collect the following sports related items:

- Promotional items from the "Bring Back the Senators" campaign (1989-1991). Eg. Artwork lithographs, pinbacks, pins, jerseys, pucks, posters, flyers, etc.

- Promotional items from the inaugural season (1992-1993). Eg. Certificates, coins, pins, pucks, posters, flyers, etc.

- Bodycheck magazines and yearbooks and Senators media guides.

- Ottawa Senators Pucks

I had a great time collecting and trading pins and Police patches while at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
 
I collect Guns. Thats one collection that will never loss value. I have a total of 8 right now and they keep gaining value. My dad has 20 and as a family we have 35 total guns. Its a fun time when we all just get together and go to the range :D

I guess I somewhat collect WWE DVD's. I don't watch the show anymore but I still like to grab the DVDs of the wrestlers I like and the goof stuff from when I was really into it. I used to collect Mcfarlane's but got bored of that and sold mt collection except the 12 inch Lemieux, Flames Doug Gilmour and a couple Iginla figures.
 
For Osgood stuff, outside of cards, I am also collecting other Osgood hockey-themed items: Pucks, figures, bobbleheads and a few other oddball items. I only recently started hunting game used items like jerseys & sticks, but that will be an interesting hunt now!

Other than that, I have a huge collection of Canadian Football League items -- team photos, media guides, games on DVD and others.
